Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on on street parking provision and the effective operation of the public highway
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area with reference to loss of planting
What decided it
The proposed hardstanding extension would maintain the required three off-street parking spaces for a four-bedroom house, and the slight harm to character and appearance from loss of planting would be outweighed by the visual benefit of replacing the garage door with a window.
The slight harm to character and appearance from loss of planting was outweighed by the improved appearance of the property and the maintenance of adequate parking provision in accordance with policy requirements.
